Add3 People – Chris

Chris graduated from University of Washington last year, and this is his first career. His major was marketing.

Why did you decide to major in marketing?

Chris: “I like to be creative, and I really like to work in teams of other creative people.”

When was the moment you shined the most?

Chris: “Um..probably graduating UW. After I graduated high school, I did concrete testing for a construction company. But it was kind of a dead end. As I was working, I realized that I needed to go to college to move up. I went back and put myself into a community college. It took me a long time because I could afford only one class at a time. Also, I had to make sure I had a high GPA to transfer to UW. At last, I got enough credits and a high enough GPA to transfer to UW. It was such a long road. It took me seven years in total. But it was pretty moving when I graduated UW. So I think I shined the most on graduation day. ”

It’s really impressive!

Chris got married while he was studying at UW.

Why did you decide to marry before you became financially stable?

Chris: “That’s a good question! haha My wife and I were together for six years before we got married. We just wanted to make it final, we couldn’t wait any longer. We wanted a piece of paper to make it real, I guess.”

What do you like about your wife?

What brought you to Add3?

Chris: “I found Add3 on craigslist. It caught my eye because it was kind of funny. Their post was like ‘if you are a ping pong master, you like English soccer, and know about SEO/SEM, please call us’. It was more creative than other ads.”

What do you love about Add3?

Chris: “I love the startup environment and how the bosses are right next to us. And we are laid-back, but get lots of work done. Everybody is really nice, and we get along pretty well.”

Who is your ping pong rival?

Chirs: “I don’t know…maybe everybody. I’m at the bottom, and there are a lot of people above of me. I have to slowly chop them down.haha”

What do you do when you are off work?

Chris: “I like to go bowling a lot, and watch movies, play video games. Right now, I play the video game called ‘Hitman’. I sneak around and kill people. haha My favorite movie might be ‘Dumb & Dumber’. It’s like stupid funny. I’ve seen it like 200 times.”

What’s your goal in ten years?

Chris: “I want to have lots of kids. And I want to be stable so that we can go on lots of vacations!”
